From the Paper:

"One downside of real-time technology, according to Fritz (1997), is the constant availability of an instructor, and scheduling WBT sessions so that the students and instructors are on-line at the same time. However, real-time, client server systems software, such as WBT Systems' Top Class, Network Publishing's N/able, and Centra Software's Symposium are a new breed of WBT development tools that are addressing problems associated with real-time technology. This new breed of software incorporates email messaging, discussion groups, and shared whiteboards to enhance communication."
